Oh goodness holy pain in the *** wires.
You're using all automotive grade stuff for that right? Don't use normal wires because the insulation will get hard, crack and fall off.

Nice coil bracket.

I would just put some sort of spacer behind the mounts on the coils to help keep stress off of the coil body in order to prevent cracking of the housing.

Also, that is the same crimper and wire set I used when I made my wires. It worked great. I also purchased the weather pack crimping jaws and the deutsch pin jaws to make it a very versatile multi tool. May I suggest you add some adhesive backed heat shrink tubing to the joint where the boot and wire meet, I think it makes the job look even more professional.


This winter I plan to rewire my engine bay. I hate how cluttered the stock setup is.
